Dijital Hikaye Geliştirme Etkinliklerinin Ebeveynlerin Dijital Ebeveynlik ve Teknoloji Kullanım Tutumlarına Etkisinin İncelenmesi

Öz

Çocukların internet dünyasında aktif yer alması onları çevrim–içi risklerle karşı karşıya kalmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda çocukların daha güvenli ve bilinçli internet dünyasında yer alması ve çevrim-içi risklerden korunmalarında en büyük rol ebeveynlere düşmektedir. Fakat ebeveynlerin birçoğu toplumsal dönüşüme yeterli düzeyde ayak uyduramadığı görülmektedir. Bu nokta ebeveynlerin dijital ebeveynlik kavramını irdelemeleri oldukça önemlidir. Bu bağlamda dijital hikaye etkinliklerinin etkili bir araç olacağı düşünülmüştür. Dijital hikaye, etkileşimli dijital bir ortamda, ses, resim, grafik, hareketli grafik, görüntü, müzik ve metne dayalı anlatımın sunulma süreci olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Tüm bu durumlardan hareketle bu araştırmanın amacı, dijital ebeveynliği konu alan dijital hikâye etkinliklerinin, ebeveynlerin dijital ebeveynlik tutumlarına etkisini inceleyerek dijital ebeveynlik yeterliliğini ortaya koymak ve farkındalık kazandırmaktır. Aynı zamanda ebeveynlerin teknoloji kullanımları incelenerek teknoloji kullanım tutumları ortaya koymaktır. Bu araştırma karma yöntem araştırma modeliyle desenlenmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, Batı Karadenizin bir ilinde farklı sosyo-demografik özelliklere sahip Bilim ve Sanat Merkezinde ilkokul ve ortaokul öğrencisi çocuğu olan 40 ebeveyn oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada kişisel bilgi formu, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ve 2 farklı ölçek kullanılmıştır. Bu araştırmanın en önemli sonucu dijital hikaye geliştirme gibi tasarım tabalı öğretim etkinliklerinin ebeveynlerin dijital ebeveynlik ile ilgili farkındalığının geliştirilmesine katkı sağlamasıdır.

Examination of the Effects of Digital Story Applications on Digital Parenting and Technology Usage Attitudes

Abstract

Children's active participation in the internet causes them to face online risks. In this direction, parents have the most prominent role in ensuring children participate in a safer and more conscious internet world and protect them from online risks. However, it is seen that most of the parents need help to keep up with the social transformation at a sufficient level. At this point, parents need to examine the concept of digital parenting. In this context, digital story activities were considered an effective tool. A digital story is defined as presenting narration based on sound, pictures, graphics, motion graphics, images, music, and text in an interactive digital environment. Based on all these situations, this study aims to reveal digital parenting competence and raise awareness by examining the effect of digital story activities on digital parenting on parents' digital parenting attitudes. At the same time, technology use attitudes of parents are revealed by examining their technology use. This research was designed with a mixed-method research model. The study group of the research consists of 40 parents with primary and secondary school students in the Science and Art Center with different socio-demographic characteristics in a province in the northwestern part of Turkey. A personal information form, a semi-structured interview form, and two different scales were used in the study. The most important result of this study is that design-based teaching activities such as digital story development contribute to the development of parents' awareness of digital parenting.
